the sum of my past week

You know i haven't had the best of days
but i want to stop and thank You anyway

every single moment when you sleep and you're awake
it's Your creation, and what You've made is good

i don't always thank You for the rough days and the hard times in my life
even though i should

i can't exactly say what made this past week (and my very first week) of student teaching feel like such a hell, besides the fact that it has everything to do with a co-op i have, but i can say that these are the lyrics i've been trying to keep in my head. easier said than done when my entire being feels permeated with the shittiness of the situation but........... there's always an end to these things........ even if it's far down the road, i know that in less than 8 weeks i will be moving on to another location and, more particularly, a new (and actual) professional to work with. endure what's here now, even if it crushes me. remember why i'm student teaching in the first place, and don't let her take that away from me, no matter what. 8 weeks is a very minute portion of my life, although it seems like an eternity at the moment. will be relying on prayers and hope... and accepting both from anybody who happens to stumble across this post.
